    you can see the GEFS eject a wave as the confluence relaxes and the block weakens... the Pacific trough buckles and leads to height rises over the Rockies. this is how you get a big storm

    lol i'm sorry but I can't look at this kinda shit and not see the resemblance. it's striking
  3. brooklynwx99
    the jet is equatorward rather than poleward... makes a pretty big difference. looks like an open STJ meeting up with confluence

    i mean, hell, as you said, this was Feb 2021... there was a SE ridge poking up and a large trough straddling the WC. you would have people talking about how poor the Pacific is here, but it's why that blizzard even happened a trough of some sort in the GoA is present for most major storms... it's how you get a robust, moisture laden wave
  5. brooklynwx99
    that's also likely as far east as any Pacific trough gets before a retrograde, which is going to occur the further into the year we get. this is especially the case with the MJO progressing through the central Pacific and Indian Ocean

    the GEFS kinda looks 2010/2016-ish with that GoA low... it's not a bad thing if the Atlantic is blocked. in fact, a trough like that would allow for strong waves to enter the flow. I think some are scarred by Pacific troughing when it's often been there during prolific periods (though mainly closer to the MA)

    four more left! use them wisely.

    PNA is rising as the trough near the WC retros a bit, too. classic look here
  9. brooklynwx99
    this progression looks quite similar to 2016... you had a suppressive 50/50 and a deep trough off of the WC. a wave ejected from the trough as the block decayed, and the trough retrograded and allowed for a transient +PNA. the rest is history

    he does this stuff all the time. he said NW of I-95 would be "favored" for the Feb 2021 blizzard. they were! they got 30" while NYC got 18" lmao like give me a break

    here’s a good example of why the GEFS having a temporary “Pacific onslaught” isn’t really bad at all. the same thing happened in 2016. there was a surge eastward of the aleutian trough, leading to even some ridging into the C US and Great Lakes. a wave slipped underneath, the trough retrogrades, leading to a transient +PNA and boom
  12. brooklynwx99
    he is right. this is indeed a nice pattern change
  13. brooklynwx99
    you can see the wave this far out, kinda nuts. trough amps up as the block rots
  14. brooklynwx99
    i generally agree, but this progression has such high confidence in modeling that you’re able to identify windows where potential is elevated. i’d say somewhere around the 21-25th holds the greatest potential for a larger event

    my guess is that you get a vigorous wave coming onshore around the 20th, the Aleutian low retrogrades, spiking the PNA, and that's how you get clobbered. everything is in place there, TPV is perfectly elongated

    and the MA had a 10" week and change, I know nobody cares about that here, but still

    it's not bad at all. confluence is building in, Canada is pretty blocked up, and the PNA is rising quickly
  19. brooklynwx99
    uhhhhhhhhhh
  20. brooklynwx99
    March is 10 times more of a winter month for most than December. unless you're far inland or pretty decently north
  21. brooklynwx99
    I agree that once we do get a storm, there is likely a transient Rockies ridge that forms from the trough in the GoA
  22. brooklynwx99
    this is for the 13th... I would expect a rainer at that time
  23. brooklynwx99
    now this is more like it
  24. brooklynwx99
    we’re in a good spot. i’d be more nervous up towards Boston
  25. brooklynwx99
    and it’s more than cold enough, you don’t need vodka cold for big snow. if it’s too cold, i’m sure i’d hear people here complaining a lack of moisture or something lmao there is ALWAYS something to criticize with patterns, but it’s worth illustrating potential as well
